Dear Wikimedia friends,
following up on the emails Asaf and I sent a few weeks ago, I have now drafted the bidding process to decide upon the location for next year’s Wikimedia Conference. This event will not only host the annual Chapters’/Affiliates’ conference, but also the WMF board, FDC and AffCom meetings and is meant to take place in April 2014 (tbc).
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Future_of_the_Wikimedia_Conference#Bidd...
== LOCATION COMMITTEE == I would like to see a small location committee (3 representatives of affiliates, 1 AffCom and 1 WMF) to decide about the hosting chapter. Asaf and Bence already agreed upon joining the committee, and it would be nice to see someone from WMIT there, as they have the freshest experience. So if you have severe experience with conference organisation, please consider joining the committee now!
== WANNA HOST WMCON 2014? == All chapters who are interested in organising the conference in 2014 are invited to place a short bid on Meta. The bids should be made until 30 September, a decision should be available before 15 October. The winning organisation will be responsible for all the logistics, as in: venue, catering, travel and visa arrangements, accommodation, technical equipment, social events, communication with and support for the participants, coordination with the programme committee and the facilitators.
I hope that if we can take the logistics and location for granted, this will help us focus on the content and sustainability of the event. I have written more about the programme part on Meta.
Thanks to Asaf and Bence for giving their valuable input to the set-up of this process. Since WMDE has kind of a traditional interest in having a good conference, I am happy to take a leading role in organising this process. Any help is highly appreciated! I am looking forward to an exciting Wikimedia Conference 2014. \o/

Imo would be nice to know what to bid for before bidding at all...
If it is that struggling to find out what is WMConf is about, I suggest dropping it at all (as per the evolution of Wikimania, it would be a reasonable decision) and create small, thematic workshops instead (see the PED workshop in Budapest in July)

Vince,
That may be true. But maybe you remember that Nicole some months ago tried to initiate a discussion process about the Conference, almost nobody replied or was engaged in the discussion.
So now we have to hurry up, if we want a conference or a meeting at all in early 2014. After that or even at the Conference itself we can discuss the future of this type of gathering.
I think, personally, an Affiliate conference is absolutely necessary. The design of the conference itself is up to the future programme committee. Of course, as you suggest, more thematic slots are (more) useful instead of the three days talking about the state of the chapters. However, that's an other discussion.

You;re still not getting my point so let me reword myself: I'm debating wheter specifically this event (in its current form, as it seemingly lacks general interest plus turns into a 'mini Wikimania') is the best way for that what Jon says; no argument against wheter it is necessary or not.
Small, dedicated workshops are usually have more success and value than such general conferences. Also, I saw many arguments that these unscheduled, here-and-there advertised thematic meetups (paralel to the main body of the conference) were more useful and fruitful than the main body. A lot of guys holding 'important' positions are usually missing the main body of the event at all due to these. Then why to stick to a conference? Set up workshops: you may put them paralell if you want for cost effectiveness. (for example 3 days, 6 workshops in two streams)

The name "conference" doesn't mean that it has to stick to the traditional conference format. Indeed, one of the suggested discussion topics (both in general, and for the actual programme committee) is to consider different formats and approaches (e.g. using the event for capacity building workshops, leadership training for board members, etc.) – input, and volunteers with good ideas for the programme committee would be very welcome at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Future_of_the_Wikimedia_Conference

The bids should be made until 30 September, a decision should be available before 15 October. The winning organisation will be responsible for all the logistics, as in: venue, catering, travel and visa arrangements, accommodation, technical equipment, social events, communication with and support for the participants, coordination with the programme committee and the facilitators.
I hope that if we can take the logistics and location for granted, this will help us focus on the content and sustainability of the event. I have written more about the programme part on Meta.
Thanks to Asaf and Bence for giving their valuable input to the set-up of this process. Since WMDE has kind of a traditional interest in having a good conference, I am happy to take a leading role in organising this process. Any help is highly appreciated! I am looking forward to an exciting Wikimedia Conference 2014. \o/

Hello again,
FYI: WMDE has just posted their bid to host Wikimedia Conference 2014.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Future_of_the_Wikimedia_Conference#Appl...
The deadline for the bidding process is approaching: 30 September is the last day to enter your bid on Meta.
There are now 7 people on the location committee: Itzik (WMIL), Ilario (WMCH/IT), Arnaugir (Amical), Osmar (WMAR) from the affiliations plus Asaf (WMF), Bence (AffCom), Mike (FDC). Thanks to all of you to step up for this important task!
After the comittee has decided about the hosting organisation (by 15 October) we should all continue with defining the goals and desired outcomes and work on the programme together. Please feel invited to provide your thoughts and input on Meta already – or volunteer to be on the programme committee yourselves. :)
Cheers, Nicole

Hi,
A few people asked me with varying degrees of seriousness about this in Hong Kong, so I'll just put this out there and say that Wikimedia
Australia
will not be in a position to host this event in 2014.

Dear Wikimedia friends,
following up on the emails Asaf and I sent a few weeks ago, I have now drafted the bidding process to decide upon the location for next year’s Wikimedia Conference. This event will not only host the annual Chapters’/Affiliates’ conference, but also the WMF board, FDC and AffCom meetings and is meant to take place in April 2014 (tbc).

Hi all,
Thank you Lodewijk for the positive feedback. :-)
Apologies for not informing the community here. The India chapter will also participate in the bid. Please find it here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Future_of_the_Wikimedia_Conference#Appl... did consider many metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Delhi, but the availability didn't actually work out. Goa worked out the best, as we felt that it might be better to occupy every participant at a single place and still at a competitive quote.
Hope the best one works out. Thank you!

... and there's also Italy!
WM-IT wants to put to good use the 2013's experience, so here's our application: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Future_of_the_Wikimedia_Conference#Appl...
(also, the venue for this WMConf is very close to the location of this bid for Wikimania[1], the bid as been started by some WM-IT and the chapter as a whole will a vote to officially support the bid during the General Assembly on October 19th, 2013)
Four bids, exciting!

Indeed! Given that a while back people were asking whether this conference would happen *at all* it is very good to see that there are four chapters willing to host. Many thanks to Germany, Sweden, India and Italy. :-)
I am not sure whether anyone has called for a "programme committee" or similar yet - is that part of the process?

Hey Chris,
it's all on meta. I was hoping for someone to pick up this topic and call for members.
Here we go, anyone interested in working on the heart of the conference – the programme? https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Future_of_the_Wikimedia_Conference#Prog...
(I thought programme team sounded a bit more suitable then committee. ;))
Cheers, Nicole

I wrote a sort of a programme proposal on the talk page in June. If nothing else comes up, you may take that as a basis to start the discussion from somewhere.
Find it under "content".

(I would also like to point out that usually in WM-IT for such big projects we ask to our members to vote in the General Assembly, but given the proposed timeline we did not have the time to do it this time. We would really like to have the possibility to further discuss this application with our members on our mailing list and to have a vote on the general assembly)

Just a small formal question: is there any reason why Amical as a thematic organization was not considered in the travel costs? I thought it's a Wikimedia Conference, and not a Chapters Conference anymore.
But maybe that's a further question, whether Thematic Organizations and User Groups are invited or not..
Best, Cornelius

I believe it was a matter of keeping the travel cost estimate simple - note that the wmf (staff, board, fdc, affcom) and future chapters, thorgs and possibly user groups were also not counted.
Amical should definitely be invited again, and indeed there is a member from Amical participating in the decisionmaking on location.
Hope that answers the question - it is important to clarify that that question on the bid is not meant to influence who is invited, it is merely used to get a _sense_ of the travel costs, not their exact amount.
Best regards, Bence

Only to make the process easier; WMF board, FDC and AffCom members are also not considered in the calculation, but their meetings are an important part of the conference. We were just trying to find a practical way to roughly estimate the range of the travel costs.
